I doubt it. I think everyone is hoping for a better solution, enjoying any positive trends, but realistic that it probably won't happen. Always hoping for the miracle, lol.

2024-2025 Fall/Winter Mountain Thread
ncjoaquin replied to Buckethead's topic in Southeastern States
GFS is a Met1985 special. -
Lol. I don't think we are done with snow and ice events. I have no idea what they are saying.
-
GSP in their long range discussion this AM.... Kind of an odd thing to say. "The pattern makes one wonder if we are done with Winter."
-
That one sticks in my head too. We had powder snow on top. Pines cracking sounded like shotgun blasts.
-
You're welcome. No, you really have the best approach right. No need to get excited until your tires are spinning in the driveway.

This pops up all the time. Yes, Asheville is in a valley. Yes, it gets downsloped. Yes, it can get less snow at times because of this factors. Yes, it generally doesn't do as well in NW flow snow. Yes, surrounding mountain locations can and do get more snow. Yes, this particular season, it has snowed more in Greensboro, Wilmington, etc. Yes, we get screwed more than our fair share. But, we are not Columbia, SC. We have just had bad luck lately and are in a snow drought. Compare the data below with any non mountain city in the state and see if you can find a city that is close to these numbers. Snow climate has changed everywhere recently, not just in Asheville. 2022 was the last big snow here. It ranked 18th in recorded Asheville snowstorms. 18 10.4 15-Jan 17-Jan 2022 Asheville has 21 snow events that exceeded 10 inches. 7 of these have been 2010 and beyond. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.weather.gov/media/gsp/Climate/AVL/newAVLheaviestsnows.pdf Asheville has had 71 seasons, dating back to 1869 that have been double digit seasons or more. 28 of these have been 20 inch seasons or more. 7 have been 30 inch seasons or more. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.weather.gov/media/gsp/Climate/AVL/newAVLmonthlySNobs_htm.pdf Asheville seasonal snowfall average is greater than anywhere else in the state with the exception of higher Central Mountain locations and the Northern mountains. (these averages are most likely high because of the snow drought. I'm sure they have dropped, but the point remains the same)

You should look harder! I'm sure there is some tweaking. Snow... not yet. -

I haven't seen one single flurry in the light of day. That must have been snow blowing off my roof in front of the camera. Sorry for the false report. -

Dropped down to 7.7 last night, easily my lowest of the year. Back up to 11.5. Not sure if we can will that moisture to get through the dry air, but it's closer than it looked like it would be. Edited to add: I have snow flurries showing up in my cameras. They overcame the dry air easily. Usually, it takes forever for the moisture to start falling. Maybe a mini surprise today? -

I was at NC State at the time. I was parking at the fringe lot. I had already walked a long way. Some lady's battery died and she needed a jump. I felt like I was literally going to freeze to death out there. I briefly hated her, but I got over it, lol. -

I just took my wife to work. Crazy the difference depending on where you are. Solid snow covered roads in my neighborhood. For once, I was on the receiving end of the NW flow instead of the shut out end.
